Detroit at top of economic agony list

This isn't really news.  Criminals have been wanting to stay in jail so they can get food and shelter for years now.

And flight to suburbs isn't new either.

Here's the problem: The police force isn't a police force.  For too many years it's been the personal protection/cronie department of the Mayor's.  Cops are corrupt, and the good ones we do have are smart enough to realize that if they try to defend Detroit without the help of about 100 backup cops, they'll be dead too.  When you're in the bad part of town, even the cops run red lights because they know that it's not safe to wait there (I've seen it happen.  You go to areas along Rosa Parks Blvd, and the intersections are treated more like stop signs).

Hasn't Detroit been on the agony list for a long time?

I remember seeing in Robocop that Detroit's police cars had bulletproof windshields. I wonder if the real Detroit is getting close to having to do that.

Probably, at least in parts of Detroit
